MID-WEEK REFLECTIONS: JULY EDITION



Hi all!!
I hope your week is going on great. Does anyone else feel like July has gone by too fast? I was looking at my calender thinking about what to write for this post when I realized a time like this next week we'll be saying goodbye July, hello August.
A lot has happened this month. Let's see if I can summarize it into a not too long post.

On Life:
July has seen me have to make so many adjustments. I graduated towards the end of June so it had been party, party, party all through the end of that month. But I had to refocus my mind on what I wanted to do with my life. I've always dreamed of living a life that I would look back on with a satisfied smile because I did my very best and used my talents to the full. But I also want to have fun while doing it. I also realized that in September I'll be celebrating two major milestones in my life so I needed to get my act together.
I have made some mistakes, had some small and some major slips of character but now I have goals for August, to work on my personal growth as well as my career growth.
I also realized how much my boyfriend had done for me to ensure I was comfortable while I did my soul-searching. I don't know if he knows this, but I appreciate everything, big and small, that you do for me. Thank you baby.

On Blogging:
This month I carried on the marketing of my new venture courtesy of my blog. I want to give people a personalized shopping experience where they get to buy stylish clothes that they love and make them look gorgeous. You know that confidence that suddenly makes and appearance when you are dressed to kill? I want to give people that experience. Although I didn't manage to put as much time as I wanted to into this, I have decided to cut back on some of the things I have taken on so that this dream of mine can become a reality. 
The last two months have been tough on me health-wise. I have been unwell more often than I have been well. My work and blogging suffered a bit but I am now feeling much better. I hope next month will go easy on me and on you all  so that we can tick some major goals off our 2013 checklist.
My mantra for this second half of this year is to make sure that the goals I have set for myself are realized. Some have come to fruition others haven't and others are a work in progress.

What I've learnt over the last two months is that I have to lean on God for his help more often than I already do. In this way, when things get too tough, I won't break down and become a wreck. Instead I'll have His saving grace to fall back on.

Have a lovely remainder of the week!!

My Style: Mad About Denim

 I feel like I have put up soo many denim-related outfits of late but that's because I live in jeans. I can't help it. Let's talk about these particular jeans. They are high-waisted and have a zip that runs half-way up the calf and the fact that they stretch a little really adds to their charm. I paired them with a blue multi-layered top which I found to be so cute and feminine and topped it all off with my striped blue blazer. I love the cropped style and fit of this blazer. It instantly smartens up any outfit that I pair it with. For shoes, I opted for my grey sneakers which I first appeared on the blog here . Pops of red, in the form of lipstick and a necklace, added some more colour and brightness to the outfit.   Outfit Details: Jeans: Borrowed from my sis (Thrifted, Gikomba Market) Top and Blazer: Thrifted, Gikomba Market Shoes: Bus Station, Nairobi Earrings: Gift Necklace: Thrift Away (Instagram) Thank you for stopping by. xo

ABOUT

Hi, I'm Audrey. Welcome to Inches To Style☺ How it started I fell in love with fashion at an early age. In fact, I wanted to be a model and when I realised that I wouldn’t make the cut because of my height, I decided that I would become a fashion designer. I’d been making clothes for my dolls for years so I knew that was a career path I would love to pursue.  I didn’t study fashion nor did I become a fashion designer but my love for clothes and putting outfits together stuck with me.  On September 12, 2011 I wrote my first blog post, after I discovered the world of fashion blogs and got hooked. I thought to myself, “I can do this! I like writing and I like fashion, so why not?” And so Inches To Style was born. What to expect from the blog At first, I wanted this blog to be a source of inspiration for anyone looking to up their style game. As time progressed and my personal style and lifestyle has evolved, I found the name of my blog quite fitting as I’m moving inches (closer) ...

HOW TO: Wear A Pencil Skirt | With a T-Shirt and Statement Necklace

Hello lovelies! My quest to learn how to style a pencil skirt continues. I was selling this skirt ( on Botique i2s ) some time ago but I didn't get someone to buy it. So I added it to my arsenal. I have worn it twice since. I previously paired it with a white button down shirt. For last Sunday's Church outfit, I wore it with a chocolate brown t-shirt and added a statement necklace to dress up the outfit a little. My tan brown wedges have finally made a reappearance on the blog. A lime green and brown turban completed the outfit. Outfit Details: Skirt: Botique i2s T-Shirt: India Wedges: Bus Station Necklace: bought from a friend Head-wrap: India  I must say that I prefer this combination of colours more than with the white shirt. What do you think of it? How would you have worn this skirt?   Have you checked out my online store yet?
